Under 10 Years - Nice game

Post by Andre »

For some reason I checked the following game from a small tournament in Germany. These kids are under 10 years old... First I didn't know this was a well known theoretical line and was pretty impressed by Black play.
Nevertheless it shows an amazing level of preparation for rated 1000 elo kids in a rapid game.

[Event "Germany Under 10 - 15mn"]
[Date "2011.06.??"]
[Round "?"]
[White "Arnold, Steffi"]
[Black "Lohrmann, Tabea"]
[Result "0-1"]
[ECO "C89"]
[WhiteElo "945"]
[BlackElo "1079"]
[PlyCount "54"]
